I think my signature obviously points out my favorite non-cartoon show, actually MST3K is my ALL-TIME favorite show, Futurama a close second. Mystery Science Theater 3000 has been with me for 7 years, and just because it's syndicated and there aren't any new episodes, it's still my favorite. Other non-cartoon shows I like are: SCTV (also syndicated) Daily Show w/ John Stewart Jimminy Glick w/ Martin Short (So what if he is an over-acting cheap laugh kinda guy, I think the show is funny) ------------------ "It's my hope that as long as there are bad movies, a sure bet as long as Bruce Willis acts, there will be someone out there sitting in the dark, with two plastic puppets, shouting derision at the screen, in re-runs at least, that person will be me" - Mike Nelson I wanna be a Box of Hamdingers[This message has been edited by Drippy_taco (edited 07-27-2001).]

Other non-cartoon shows I like are: SCTV (also syndicated) I think you misunderstand the concept of syndication. MST3K and SCTV, while in reruns, are still aired nationally on the scifi channel and NBC(respectively). Syndication means that the show airs nationally, but the time and station varies from market to market. Incidentally, I first fell in love with MST3K back when it actually was syndicated. Way back in 1995, they syndicated a small amount of episodes dubbed "The MST Hour". It was half of an episode each week(all Joel-era ones), with some really hilarious wrap-around segments featuring Mike Nelson in his Jack Perkins makeup. In my area, it came on right after SNL...MST3K was a breath of fresh air after watching so much of that lameness. The syndication run ended after the first year...I was almost in tears when I found out it stopped airing locally. Lucky for me, I am a huge nerd who recorded every episode, and thanks to internet tape-trading(and also my brother who had DSS), I got like a hundred episodes before my cable company finally picked up the scifi channel. But enough of that. Other shows I like or used to like: Get A Life The State Select seasons of The X-files Seinfeld King of Queens is also pretty entertaining for a mainstream show I'm sure there are a few other shows, but just about all tv today is maddeningly awful.

Hmm, articles I would read always associated MST3K and SCTV with syndicated, but thanks for correcting me, guess I should get with the times...

I don't watch TV, as a rule, it's nothing but mass produced, deflavoured tabloid piss, especially before 10pm. For comedy, see Rach's post above. Did any Britisher here ever watch the Channel 4 cult video review show VIDS? That was my favourite show of all time. It breaks every British TV stereotype in the book. That's were all my sig quotes come from. For a biting, satrical, visceral look at British TV, visit http://www.tvgohome.com

Posted by Bart182 Lone gunman (even though the show sucks) Oh yes, I forgot about this show. I watched it too. It wasn't too good, but I liked it. It was really likeable, despite all its faults. It's just too bad that Fox cancelled it...if it had another season to grow, I think it could have been something great. By Bovinatron spy tv is funny even tho they do the meanest things to ppl I'm not sure what to think of this one. It will occassionally have a funny bit(like that whole skit with the neat-freak boss), but I don't know, the reactions seem kinda rehearsed to me. I wonder how many of their skits are genuine. Also, does anyone remember that infomercial that used to come on, for that tape of practical jokes? I've seen the exact same clips shown on Spy TV, in their "international division" segment. That's just lame. Michael Ian Black is a funny funny guy(I used to love The State), but he does a terrible job of hosting the show. Most of his jokes are unfunny, but even the funny ones get lost in his shockingly bad delivery.

I don't watch too much TV but I like most sci-fi and some comedy shows, in particular: Babylon 5 Farscape Star Trek (all series) X-Files Space: Above and Beyond (killed after one series ) Buffy Blackadder Bottom Red Dwarf The Bill Sadly a lot of them aren't on now. I expect I've missed a few that should be on the list.
